# Ingesting Emails
Once you sign up for email parsing and land on your email parsing dashboard, you will see a custom email address that you can use to send emails to. This email address will receive your email, ingest it and store it to your account.
Go ahead and send a test email to your custom email address. Once you've done that head over to your inboxes (on the sidebar) and find the inbox that you just setup. There will be an inbound email request waiting for you.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.hostedhooks.com/getting-started/email-parsing/ingesting-emails.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
